Earlier on Friday, Rafael Nadal beat Australian qualifier Marinko Matosevic 6-2, 6-4 in the Coupe Rogers quarter-finals on Friday evening. Djokovic, the top seed in Montreal, knocked off Richard Gasquet 6-1, 6-2, earlier this evening.
Rafael Nadal, who was victorious in Canada in both 2005 (d. Agassi) and 2008 (d. Kiefer), increased his hard-court winning streak to eight matches this year, having won the prestigious title in Indian Wells. Nadal is also currently riding a 28-1 run in ATP World Tour Masters 1000 matches, dating back to his title in Rome in 2012.
Nadal’s semi-final against Djokovic will be their 36th meeting, adding yet another chapter to their historic rivalry. The Spaniard prevailed in their most recent battle, a five-set semi-final thriller at Roland Garros. Djokovic won their only other encounter of the year, emerging victorious in straight sets for the Monte-Carlo title.
The Montreal semi is scheduled for August 11, 2013 at 00:00 GMT.
